German to English Translation...

[brandon184]

I'm trying to translate the following phrases from English to German - but am sure that all of them are probably quite flawed.... If you know the correct versions, PLEASE - FILL ME IN!

-> Marc, we know about the German war-ships.

Marc, kennen wir in den deutschen Kriegsschiffen aus.


-> Dude, you're getting a Dell!

Geck, erhalten Sie ein Dell!


-> It smells of old cabbage and stale meat in this room.

Es riecht vom alten Kohl und vom verjährten Fleisch in diesem Raum.


-> I hate it when old people steal my groceries.

Ich hasse es, wenn alte Leute mein Lebensmittelgeschäft stehlen.



(?!?!) ... These are with the aid of an online translator - those who know German, I beg for your help! I asked a German friend quickly earlier today, and he said that they didn't make any sense. But then again - this guy has me walking around saying, "Vakken my sty-shjen!"... (Still not entirely clued in on what THAT means..)


Thanks a bunch,

- Brandon

Marc, wir wissen über die deutschen Kriegsschiffe bescheid.

Geck (very negative meaning, there is no positive equivalent for Dude, best of meaning would be->)Mann, Sie erhalten einen Dell.

Es riecht nach altem Kohl und vergammelten Fleisch in diesem Raum.

Ich hasse es, wenn alte Leute meine Lebensmittel stehlen.

"Vakken my sty-shjen", now this made me clueless, sounds scandinavian to me

Thanks a ton for the translations - I appreciate it!

"Vakken my sty-shjen" .. I just made the spelling up.

He told me it means, "Wash my sh*t"...

I ran the translations in reverse. Good fun, actually

I hate it, if old people steal my grocer's shop

It smells from the old Kohl and from the meat barred by statute of limitations in this space.

Geck, receive you a Dell!

we know Marc in the German warships out.

Brandon,
you're shure your friend is german? The initial translation wasn't that bad, to make up at least the final meaning of it.
His saying still doesn't ring any bell with me, though I know a lot of such stuff

Moon,
I'd played several times forward/backward those translators and d you can run them indefinataly until completely screwed
My name is always translated as "Kraut", which isn't that totaly wrong in the first place

Yup, he's German... I could just be pronouncing it wrong, though..
